Thanks Jamesf, Loke, Cherhern, Anthony, Will and Kurt!!
My knees still hurts, but it was well worth the trek and met up with the lone Orange Imperial. We did not manage an open wing shot of this beauty and observe the fascinating courtship spiraling flight of a mating pair! , perhaps LC can share with us a view of its beautiful upper from his archives.
